Hello all,

    I am working on a project where I plan to engrave a floral design
    into a gold band, and wanted to fill the engraving w/ silver.  Not
    being a jeweler, I only have what I know to go on.  I thought I'd
    flow solder into the engraving, then sand/polish the rest of it back
    off.  This seems labor intensive to me though, so I thought I'd ask
    if there was an easier way.  I was going to practice the technique by
    making a matching ring of fine silver with gold in the engraved
    areas. 

Thoughts?
David
